Plane crash at Tahoe-area airport results in fatalities.
An investigation into the fatal accident in Nevada is being conducted by the FAA and NTSB.
A mid-air collision between two aircraft resulted in the death of one person and the wreckage of a plane lying in a field outside an airport in Nevada.
On Tuesday at 10 a.m. local time, the Federal Aviation Administration reported that a "single-engine Globe GC-1B Swift and a single-engine Cessna 206 collided in midair near Minden-Tahoe Airport."
"The Globe crashed into a field and the Cessna landed at the airport. The FAA stated that one person was on board the Globe and two people were on board the Cessna. Additionally, the FAA noted that the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the incident."
The Douglas County Sheriff's Office has confirmed one fatality after the crash, and the airport has been closed.
It’s not immediately clear what caused the two planes to collide.
Video recordings taken after the event depict emergency personnel assembling in a field to inspect the debris left behind by a single-engine Globe GC-1B Swift.
The Douglas County Sheriff's Office stated that the NTSB will lead the investigation and give all updates.
The second death at the airport in the last month was caused by a crash.
